US officials have projected a potentially catastrophic shortage of ammunition and air defense missiles in Ukraine by late March, according to ABC News and NBC News. This shortage, exacerbated by the ongoing consumption of shells and the political debate in the US over continued financial support, could significantly alter the course of the conflict. Ukrainian forces are already facing a dire situation, with reports indicating they are running perilously low on ammunition against Russian forces, particularly in the Donbas region. The imbalance is stark, with Ukrainian troops having only one shell for every ten available to Russian forces. Despite the grim outlook, Ukrainian President Zelensky has stated that Ukraine will persevere, albeit with potential significant losses without US support. Additionally, new M113 armored personnel carriers have been received for evacuating the wounded.
By spring, Ukraine faces a potentially catastrophic shortage of ammunition and air defenses that could effectively turn the tide of the war and lend Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin a significant advantage, according to an internal U.S. estimate. https://t.co/bnubNRpQGp
